Some Yosemite tour companies don't provide sleeping bags, sleeping pads, backpacks and other items, or they charge "gear rental" fees for use of these items - on our trips those items are fully included in the trip price. What about meals, permit fees and transportation fees? All totally included on our Yosemite hiking trips and Yosemite guided backpacking trips. (Some day hikes meet in Grand Canyon National Park and do not include transportation.)

One of the world's most popular and famous national parks, Yosemite offers a staggering amount of hiking options and, along with those, also its share of summer crowds. A guided Yosemite hiking trip or Yosemite backpacking tour is an option to go with experts who know the best trails, the must-see highlights, and how to minimize (as much as possible) the impact of crowds on your experience. Also, you can travel with only your clothes and personal belongings and allow us to take care of gear, permits, local transportation, food...etc. so you can focus 100% on enjoying your Yosemite hike!
A question we get a lot is whether to enjoy Yosemite on a backpacking trip, or some other sort of hiking vacation like a portered hike, inn-based tour, basecamp tour, or day hike. The primary question to answer is whether you want to challenge yourself with a heavier backpack and more adventurous trip - if the answer is yes, then a Yosemite backpacking trip is the way to go. If the answer is no, then a portered trip offers the ability to still experience Yosemite's backcountry without the heavier backpack; inn-based and basecamp tours offer wonderful Yosemite hiking vacation packages; and day hikes are a way to optimize a day or two at the Park!
Yosemite is one of those unique national parks that are great 4 season destinations. Spring offers lush vegetation, thin crowds, and thundering waterfalls from snowmelt. Summer is the time of year to explore both Yosemite Valley and the high country, which by then has melted out from the winter snowpack, however it is also the busiest time of year to hike Yosemite. Fall is magical in the Sierras with diminished crowds, wonderful temperatures, and active wildlife. Winter is a peaceful time with plenty of great hiking and snowshoeing options in Yosemite Valley and the high country.
